Yeah, I'm kidding. It is just that the constant velocity of light that is always quoted "c" is ONLY the speed of light in a vacuum. The fastest that a bullet could possibly go is limited by the rate of expansion of gunpowder - roughly 6000fps I think.

Thanks. I thought I was missing something there but couldn't remember what while I was working.

They can, but only in a vacuum. :cheers2:

Although that isn't really that far from kE=mv^2 so I'll give the instructor some slack. He just got his variables wrong. And who is to say that you can't reuse a variable? What would we do if N could only have 1 value ever?
